"Dr. Mailapur is a very caring surgeon. He says he has a passion for helping people change their lives and I believe him. The hospital staff and other doctors are very complimentary of him as a professional. He made me feel comfortable from day one. He is very adamant about the surgery being only a tool to assist in shedding the pounds. I have no question about what my role is in the process. Dr. Mailapur has the surgical competence and a great bedside manner. I couldn't have asked for better care. His office staff is very knowledgeable, especially Jessica. rnThe recommended support group through Huntsville Hospital is excellent!"
